Fans are Slans! And only smart people are Slans
Love too base my argument that my dumb nerd club is fundamentally intellectually elite compared to the gen pop normies based on SELF-REPORTED survey data
It was kind of painfully funny that after all their claptrap about how IQ is genetically determined, fixed throughout one's lifetime and determines most factors of life success, a bunch of Scott Alexander's followers actually got tested and then freaked out at their low score
Backed into a corner over this, Scott hemmed and hawed over his previous confidence in psychometrics in a remarkably assholish waypic.twitter.com/s7xioouVYF
I distinctly remember reading this, nodding along, and thinking "that makes sense". Rereading it... Holy fuck that's _ugly_ shit.
The part where he just throws in that dumb normies don't mind being called dumb because they hate smart people What a bizarrely stunted worldview based on petty childhood trauma
I'd like to remind everyone that this is after Scout expressed support for the idea that IQ is such a reliable predictor of success at almost all skills and tasks (the "general factor of intelligence") that it could replace *job interviews*
He expressed strong support for the Robin Hanson take that "IQ denialism" costs society billions of dollars in "social signaling mechanisms" and if we just gave people the test and gave the high scorers the good jobs we wouldn't need colleges
All this stuff about how goddamn important this stupid number is when we're talking about the lives and futures of huge abstract hordes of people But when it's someone he's talking to right in front of him, suddenly it's just a number
The interview just needs TWO questions, not one: 1) What is your IQ score? 2) What is your comment history on Scott's blog? Did you use a lot of big words?
Tbh one could have a very productive interview with just the first part of the second question, for filtering purposes.
